Indicators, horn not working

Since I've swapped over my steering wheel my horn, indicators and intermitent wipers have all stopped working,

The hazzard switch still works as it should and all other wiper settings.

I've replaced the Wiper/indicator relay and checked all the fuses with out any luck.


Can anyone shed any light on my issue?


Thanks in advance Lee.

Indicators and horn are on the same fuse Nr.11. 8 amp. did you try cleaning the contacts in the fuse holder while you had the fuse out ??

It's a common problem Lee, the contacts get a 'Patina' build up inside them,

Sometimes it's not very much and just turning or exchanging the fuse will cure it,

You can get the same kind of build up where a light bulb makes contact too,

You must remember the age of the cars and the climate.
